Hi guys, I was wondering how to turn all the factor levels (they are letters eg. 'a', 'A', 'b', 'B') into lowercase and add the amount of these levels, amount meaning like:
# location.first.char =
> location.first.char

When the uppercase levels become lowercase and therefore become the same level as they would now both be eg. a. (both would be lowercase) Okay take 'b' and 'B', when the uppercase version becomes lowercase I want it so there wouldn't be two lowercase 'b's, I also want to add the amount of said 'b' and 'B' which in the case above would equal 360
